Solve for the veriable. 8(1+8)-23b=b

3.13 :)

Step-by-step explanation:

8(1+8)-23b=b

Distribute

8+64-23b=b

72-23b=b

72=23b

3.13=b

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
